Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall
D
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D. There is reaching, and then there is Kedon Slovis at the 216th pick. The Cowboys jumped the board by 88 and dared it to prove them wrong. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Isaac pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
However the rest shakes out, Isaac at that price is a win they earned.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In pick 13 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. More want than need.
Pick24
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 24th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at slot 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Somehow Keon Coleman was still sitting there in No. 64, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end to take Adisa Isaac, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick87
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 87 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136
Rnd4
Tanor Bortolini
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanor Bortolini this early at No. 136. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145
Rnd5
Dillon Johnson
They reached into another round for Dillon Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147
Rnd5
Fabien Lovett
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fabien Lovett well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylan Ford. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216
Rnd6
Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis at Round 6, Pick 41 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229
Rnd7
Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams in the 229th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
